HB2079 amends Arizona Revised Statutes by expanding exemptions to county food handler certification requirements. The bill exempts volunteers who participate three or fewer times in a calendar year at activities or functions where food is being packaged or heated, provided they are overseen by a certified food protection manager or person in charge. The definition of "person in charge" is clarified as the individual present at a food establishment responsible for managing the operation during an inspection. The bill retains the existing exemption for volunteers at school activities or functions outside of regular food service, overseen by a certified manager or person in charge, and makes technical and conforming changes.
